Meet the Creators of Noodles, Rice & Everything Spice

Submitted by the Event Organizer

On Saturday, April 19th at 11:00 AM, San Mateo County Libraries is thrilled to virtually welcome Christina De Witte and Mallika Kauppinen, as they discuss their co-created graphic novel cookbook Noodles, Rice, and Everything Spice! This event will take place virtually via Zoom; register here to receive your Zoom invitation. For those interested in graphic novels and comics, check out our Peninsula Libraries Comic Arts Fest, which takes place the entire month of April!

Combining easy-to-follow comic book panels with pops of vibrant food photography to perfectly capture the bright, colorful flavors and ingredients that are crucial to Thai cuisine, Noodles, Rice & Everything Spice celebrates the warm, welcoming spirit of Thailand. Journey to the northern Lanna region and dine “khan tok”–style with small bowls of chile dips, curries, sticky rice, and vegetables on a pedestal tray for sharing; sit cross-legged on a bamboo mat around a spread of tangy salads and grilled meats in the northeast Isaan region; and roam the bustling markets of central Bangkok for iconic street food treats. Discover how to make world-class snacks and starters such as Som Tam (papaya salad) and Satay Gai (grilled chicken skewers), or iconic noodle dishes such as Khao Soi (coconut curry noodle soup) and Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles)!
